Basin Street Blues lyrics

Basin Street, that's the street
Where the elite always meet
In New Orleans, the land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems or
Just how much it really means
Glad to be, oh yes siree
Where welcome's free are dear to me
Where I can lose
My Basin Street blues

Basin Street, that's the street
Where the elite always meet
In New Orleans, the land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems or
Just how much it really means

Glad to be, oh yessiree

Ain't you glad you came with me
Way down to the Mississippi
We took the boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river to New Orleans
